This story is about the human condition, and how some of us are dealing with things that others can't even imagine.

Ron Brimmer, a disabled veteran of Annapolis, lives with pain almost all the time. Anything that touches his skin, such as clothes or even a breeze, makes the pain worse. He feels like he has sunburn all over his body.

Brimmer has peripheral neuropathy. What even makes it more difficult is the lack of understanding from the people that see him.

He spoke to Mary Beth Marsden about his condition.

"All the nerves misinterpret, and what shouldn't be pain is perceived as pain to me," Brimmer says.

His condition began to show about eight years ago, Brimmer shares.

"I was doing research on fabric to make me feel more comfortable," he explains. He developed fabric that is very lightweight.

He wears very little clothing year-long and is not out for long periods of time. If he does go out and about, he gets derogatory statements, such as pervert.

"It's been an educational journey for me, my wife and the community," he says. "If they confront me, I've made out a business card that I hand them that tells them that this is a medical disability and it's due to the service to our country."
